Do you know that South Carolina actually outranks our neighbor Georgia – the so-called "Peach State" – in its production of peaches? During a normal year, South Carolina grows 60,000 tons of peaches. We have over 18,000 acres of peach farms across the state, which is why the SC Legislature made the peach our official state fruit in 1984.
